Model-generated complaint tags: This model year has not been tagged.
Defect: ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES EQUIPPED WITH SHOCK ABSORBERS MANUFACTURED BY PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION, INC. THE SHOCK ABSORBERS HAVE A SPRING PLATE ASSEMBLY THAT WAS INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN RESULTING IN THE SHOCK ABSORBER FAILING TO HOLD THE WEIGHT OF THE MOTORCYCLE AND IN SOME INSTANCES COULD SUDDENLY DECOMPRESS WHILE THE MOTORCYCLE IS IN OPERATION.
Consequence: SHOCK ABSORBER FAILURE WILL CAUSE THE MOTORCYCLE TO LEAN GREATLY TO THE SIDE OF THE DEFECTIVE SHOCK ABSORBER INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT ALL SHOCK ABSORBERS AND REPLACE ALL DEFECTIVE SHOCK ABSORBERS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 18, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT AMERICAN IRONHORSE AT 1-888-618-4766.

Notes on this record
Complaints from the API and bulk file are merged and deduplicated by ODI number; the API alone misses records.
System and subsystem counts are numbers of distinct complaints, recalls or communications that name them. One record can name several systems, so shares across systems can add to more than 100 percent; a single share never exceeds 100 percent.
Recalls are counted once per campaign, investigations once per action and manufacturer communications once per NHTSA id, even when NHTSA lists several model names for the same record.
A sales denominator is a calendar-year proxy, not the population of vehicles still in use. Rates are copied from verified pipeline output.
